Can't wait for the tires to get here from Tire Rack

I had a question though: Do I need to buy new Lug-Nuts and Valve Stems or can the installer use my existing ones???

Any feedback will be great!!!

You can use existing bolts provided your not using spacers. Get new valve stems.

Are you moving over your tpms from the stock wheels?

Thanks dbjb. My 330i only has the FTM. I wish I had the TPMS

since im out of the car stuff for almost 1.5 years and steered myself onto something more healthy... skiing was my best friend for past 2 seasons. but since the weather got so weird this year and i've only been able to go up to the mountain 3 times this season and don't think i'll be able to get on there again, i started my warm weather sport a little early this time. welcome to my other new best friend:

been riding past month on another hybrid bike but figured its time to move on something i won't mod or upgrade down the road, here it comes a full carbon flat bar road bike. so far i've been just biking in the neighborhood on weekend with daughter in the trailer but soon we should head up to american river trail for 20 miles ride.

this thing amazed me! a tad under 20 lbs and feel like im riding on nothing, compare to my older bike which was 27lbs, that 7+ lbs makes a big difference!

Morning Sac Valley Members,

I wanted to post this here first: I have my new wheels and tires being installed Monday or Tuesday next week.

I just want to sell these to Sac members for a local pick up: PRICE DROP TO $220.00 FROM 300.00

All Four have wear and tear and the tires are low on thread

The pictures go from Driver Front, Driver Rear, Passenger Front and Passenger Rear:

Hopefully I can sell them LOL

For $300 you should keep those for when you trade the car in. That way you can sell the new ones and get a good chunk of what you spent on rims and tires back. Also the tire pressure sensors in the tires could be sold for about $100-$150 as a full set.

I bought a new set of tpms sensors for my car and kept my old rims for the day that i sell the car lol. Then i'll have a nice set of rims tires with tpms sensors for sale. I should be able to get about 75% of my money back depending on tire tred or and if i ever curb rash it much less lol.

I was going to keep them at first but don't have any room in my garage. I hate looking at stuff sitting there too lol

If someone offers. I'll sell them if not. Maybe hang them up high so they are out of they way

Thanks

^^^^^^^^^
The other option may be to sell a pair or even 3 as spares to others... keeping one for yourself.

I only say that as often stock are run-flats. After market are not and it's nice to have an extra wheel/tire if you ever need a rim repaired or something of the sort. Ask me how I know.

parting out carlos? your turn on fading out the car scene now?

dbjb · 04-14-2014, 11:27 AM

Yes... this thread has slowed quite a bit. I'm hardly on too. New baby, job etc.
Lots to do.

Thanks to Matt (buster84) for helping with my valve cleaning! Although it took a little longer than expected (my fault), it was nice to finally get it all sorted out and do my spark plugs and oil change too. Good stuff.

Here's 140k miles. Ran meth 10k miles or so. But, that was 20-30k miles ago.
Some before images. During and after. It was like mining for gold. But not really

SMOG N Go in Folsom did mine that way. I went back to stock to be safe (as far as what was in the engine bay) Didn't have any mods that would affect SMOG otherwise. They still had the hood open and looked in, but couldn't tell if they were looking for mods. Didn't say anything to me.

That he knows of. He said he got the car around 20k miles so the previous owner probably didn't bother at that time... Since he's owned it he never did it. It shows that those Highway miles that he drives sure doesn't hurt the car anywhere near as much as city driving.

I thought you said you did it about 10-15k miles ago? I know some do it around 20k but unless your doing it yourself i'd wait at least 30-40k to do it again.

I think the reason highway miles has less is that you start the car up less and the oil is hot so it doesn't get stuck to the valves like it would with a cold engine. Thats just my guess, i could totally be wrong lol
